wants to go back and how he thinks he measures up compared to the
young fighters coming in. He reveals how he got his fight at the
Affliction PPV, who hits the hardest in all of MMA (and it isn’t
Fedor), who took the biggest beating ever (and it isn’t Takayama), who

happened with Karo Parisyan’s fight. 70 minutes total.
